  • BIOMARKERS FOR CONFORMATION OF RIDING TRAITS IN HORSES
    Publication number: 20240043926
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining, in a sample comprising nucleic acid molecules obtained from the horse, presence or absence of at least one biomarker useful in predicting conformation of back and croup and/or gait quality and/or gait type trot or pace of the horse. The at least one biomarker is located in a region of from nucleotide position 44,000,000 to nucleotide position 47,000,000 on Equus caballus chromosome 22 (ECA22).

  • Identification of the causative mutation for leopard complex spotting and congenital stationary night blindness in equines and a method for testing for same
    Patent number: 8993232
    Abstract: Methods are provided for determining whether or not a horse is genetically normal, is a carrier of, or is affected with or predisposed to Congenital Stationary Night Blindness and/or leopard complex spotting. The method is based on detection of an insertion in an intron in the horse Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily M, Member 1 (TRPM1) gene.
